Usually in political data, you’re stuck between two extremes. On one side, you have outdated government files, unintuitive documents buried in archives that are almost impossible to navigate on a phone. On the other side, you have partisan biased news channels that wrap every statistic in a layer of “spin,” telling you how to feel about a number before you even see the number itself.
The Problem: Fragmented Facts
- The Media Problem: News outlets often cherry-pick margins to fit a narrative
- The Accessibility Problem: The FEC (Federal Election Commission) holds the “Golden Record,” but their delivery methods aren’t exactly user-friendly for a quick mobile check
A “Mobile-First” FEC Experience
They’ve taken data from those “annoying” PDFs and transformed it into a searchable, responsive state-by-state table. You can see at a glance that Pennsylvania was decided by a razor-thin 0.3%, while DC swung by a staggering 86.8%.
Side-by-Side Policy Comparison
Instead of listening to a pundit tell you what a candidate believes, they’ve compiled their actual stated platforms. Whether it’s Democratic push for a $15 minimum wage or Republican “USA Iron Dome” proposal, you can read actual policies side-by-side.
